Wild Roots

Welcome to Wild Heartlands Ranch - home to the sexiest cowboys in Montana ??????? A steamy second chance romance for fans of Elsie Silver and Paisley Hope! Twelve years ago, she chose the spotlight. I chose the ranch. Now she’s back in town, and consuming my every thought. Avery Blake left Montana to follow her dreams, while I stayed rooted to my family’s Montana ranch. She asked me to go with her once. But I couldn’t. And then the inevitable silence hurt worse than her leaving. So when Avery returns to our small town, all soft smiles and familiar fire, I tell myself I’ve moved on. My family welcomes her like she never left, but I don’t plan on reopening old wounds. Except she keeps showing up. She slips into my days and my nights, reminding me of dusty roads, shared secrets, and the way loving her once felt as natural as breathing. The chemistry between us still burns hot and reckless, even when I know her career is waiting beyond these mountains. My life is tied to the land. Hers has always been meant for more. But some loves don’t fade—they wait. And now I have to decide if I’m brave enough to loosen the reins, risk my heart, and chase the one woman who ever made this ranch feel like more than home.
